CASE STUDIES Marilyn Monroe Prize Draw for MBA A multi-channel B2B marketing campaign that used direct mail, press advertising, email marketing, social media, SMS text messaging and PURLs (personalised web pages). This campaign was developed to showcase the variable-content capability of MBA’s digital printing equipment. The Prize Draw centred on a calendar containing picture clues on each month. Guess the name of this month’s movie and win a prize. Existing and prospective clients were invited to request a personalised calendar. They could choose from one of four film genres and further personalise the calendar with reminders of important dates. Each Prize Draw entrant was given a personal web page (PURL) where they could enter their guess. Additional clues were available on Facebook and a bonus prize was offered via SMS text messaging.
